PDP Members in Ebonyi Back Odii, Deny APC Defection
Jimoh Abu and Anthony Awaza, members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ebonyi state, publicly reaffirmed their support for the party’s governorship candidate, Chief Ifeanyi Chukwuma Odii, during a press conference in Abakaliki. They denied reports claiming they defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Abu alleged that state government officials, along with members of the state vigilante group, invaded Jimoh Guest House in the Hausa Quarters of Abakaliki, abducting lodgers, staff, and customers, and coercing him to announce a defection to the APC. Despite these threats, Abu stated he remains committed to the PDP and Odii, believing he is ready to enhance development in Ebonyi.
Awaza expressed his support for Odii, citing personal assistance during his health challenges, including a financial contribution of N3 million for medical bills at Niger Foundation Hospital in Enugu.
